Celebrating the 4th anniversary of Suburban Wholesale & Supply in Davenport, Iowa with a one-of-a-kind Rock-afire Explosion video produced by Aaron. Learn the story behind this memorable celebration and why it remains a favorite in Suburban history.
October 1, 2018 marked an important milestone for Suburban Wholesale & Supply in Davenport, Iowa—our 4th anniversary of serving contractors and builders throughout the Quad Cities and surrounding region.
Over those first four years, we were fortunate to build lasting relationships with customers who trusted us for quality replacement windows, new construction windows, vinyl siding, composite cladding, entry doors, storm doors, gutters, soffit, fascia, and professional exterior building materials. Every order, every delivery, and every handshake helped shape who we are today.
To celebrate the occasion, we wanted to do something a little different.
Rather than producing a traditional anniversary video, we partnered with Aaron, whose incredible work brought one of America's most beloved animatronic bands back to life.
The result was a personalized congratulatory performance from The Rock-afire Explosion, celebrating everyone at Suburban Wholesale & Supply.
The video recognizes:
Most importantly, it serves as a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make our first four years possible.
If you haven't seen it yet, it's a fun piece of Suburban history that still brings smiles years later.

For JR Girskis, this project carried special meaning.
Growing up, JR developed a lifelong appreciation for ShowBiz Pizza Place and Chuck E. Cheese. Like many families during the 1980s, those restaurants represented more than pizza—they were places where birthdays were celebrated, memories were made, and families gathered around music, games, and entertainment.
The legendary Rock-afire Explosion became one of the most recognizable animatronic shows in America and remains an icon of family entertainment. Their creativity, engineering, music, and nostalgic appeal have continued to inspire fans decades later.
Having the opportunity to feature the Rock-afire Explosion in a personalized anniversary message for Suburban Wholesale & Supply blended two passions together:
It's one of those projects that perfectly captures the personality behind our company—working hard while never forgetting to have a little fun.
None of this would have been possible without the incredible work of Aaron, whose passion and talent made this unique production a reality.
His attention to detail and dedication helped create a video that continues to entertain customers, employees, and friends years after it was first released.
We're grateful that he helped make our fourth anniversary something truly unforgettable.

While the anniversary celebrated four years of Suburban Wholesale & Supply, it also reflected something much bigger.
Every delivery made.Every contractor served.Every homeowner helped.Every relationship built.
Those are the reasons we've continued to grow.
Today, Suburban Wholesale & Supply remains committed to providing contractors throughout Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois with premium exterior building products, dependable service, knowledgeable support, and a team that genuinely enjoys what we do.
Sometimes that means discussing the latest composite cladding or replacement window system.
And sometimes it means celebrating with an iconic animatronic band that reminds us all not to take life too seriously.
To everyone who has supported Suburban Wholesale & Supply over the years—thank you. We couldn't have reached this milestone without you, and we look forward to many more years of serving the Quad Cities construction community.
